Nick Hanauer’s article from 2014 - “The Pitchforks Are Coming… For Us Plutocrats” - reads in 2020 more like a strange, persistent problem than any prophecy. Link to Nick Hanauer's article on Politico Hanauer invested early in Bezos and Amazon. He loves capitalism, but he believes the best investment in capitalism is the middle class, not the plutocrats.

Here are their words. From Mom: Andrew says in
